Abstract
In this paper, we present counterexamples to maximal Lp-regularity for a parabolic PDE. The example is a second-order operator in divergence form with space and time-dependent coefficients. It is well-known from Lions’ theory that such operators admit maximal L2-regularity on H-1 under a coercivity condition on the coefficients, and without any regularity conditions in time and space. We show that in general one cannot expect maximal Lp-regularity on H-1(Rd) or L2-regularity on L2(Rd).
